When it's posted here in the Soapbox, well, it's simple to unload my opinion about it.

When it's brought up in Congress, like Rand Paul praising Putin and urging our alliance with Assad, I can only yell at the TV. laugh

I think Putin is right about American exceptionalism.

I'm now ducking down the alleyway as y'all throw stuff at me.

Yah, you got me there. I was talking about the common man more. Frustrating.

Things that make my head explode with the Putin worship.


March 2011, Syrians protesting Putin's grip on Assad. Putin arms Assad to wipe these people off the face of the earth. Putin today lectures Americans about democracy in the NYT.

Thank you... my sentiments too.
All the GOP Obama haters will make of it what they will... there is no way to prove or disprove that this was Obamas intent from the start.
If he had merely asked like Putin did... it would have been a no go.
If Putin had asked w/o prior USA threats .. no go.
USA makes threat... and Syria buckles and says it because Putin asked so nicely with a cherry on top. My ass.
So, I will give him the benefit of the doubt. More than I can say for other narrow-minded peeps....

I'm with you, kinda. I don't use or agree with the GOP catch phrase as a gauge of patriotism. But the President's actions to get Russia and Syria and the US to talk diplomacy, the rightwing has embraced Putin, disparaged and insulted the military, and now pissed on their holy Reagan slogan. I thought trashing the global economy would be their limit to show their Obama hatred, but I was wrong.

No danger of my embracing Putin. He might put me in jail for homoerotic behavior. Or something.

Yeah, the exceptionalism is the point that really rang with me, as I said in my thread before I realized John had already posted Putin's letter here.

Not really, we're a bit hard at the moment... so we might want more than 10 per cent. How'd it happen? Well, our excuse is that certain people making the decisions were mentally ill at the time although it was only proven against one of 'em... you and I have discussed that one before of course... laugh
km

You mean like W and Reagan & Bush Sr ??? blush

HEY KM, they resemble that remark !!
